Switchboard Upgrades — common questions
How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?+
It depends on the size of the board and the state of the existing wiring, but we'll always give you a fixed quote upfront before we start. No surprises on the invoice. TODO(client): add a real typical range here.
Do I legally need safety switches?+
In Victoria, safety switches (RCDs) are required on power and lighting circuits. If your board doesn't have them, an upgrade brings you up to standard and is genuinely the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy.
Will my power be off all day?+
We isolate the power only while we swap the board over — usually a few hours. We'll let you know the timing so you can plan around the fridge and the kids.
